"He graduates." "He graduates with a strong resume." "He grows up happy." "He is respected by his peers." "He is a man of real character."
College can be the intersection of hopes and fears in life. Short term pleasure and temptations often compete with college success and post-college career goals. Your list of hopes for your son probably did not include being a “frat guy”. We agree.
Being a “frat guy” is easy — but being a “fraternity man” is difficult, but much more rewarding!
We realize that 18 to 22 year old males usually do not need guidance on how to have fun —it comes naturally. However, we do realize that leadership, ethical behavior, and people skills are critical to a young man’s personal development and each takes a little more effort, planning, thought, and guidance.
Theta Xi offers its members tremendous leadership development programs not available to the average college or university undergraduate. Theta Xi’s leadership programs, commonly referred to as our All True Men Initiative, provides tools and programming for our members to develop the same leadership skills that America’s most well-respected corporations offer to their top executives.
Our members' parents are one of our most valuable assets. We want to establish an immediate connection from us to you, and encourage participation in your son's college and fraternity experience. Your son's health, safety, and wellbeing are major concerns that all parents have and we want to establish trust directly with you.
Theta Xi has a zero tolerance for hazing and high-risk behavior. However, this a small part of our message. Theta Xi and the chapter house provides a full experience that we have broken down for you within this site. You will find our section about academics, living, and opportunities all detailed. Our core values and individual responsibility are present throughout all of Theta Xi and they receive our highest focus and importance.
Membership in Theta Xi is ultimately a part of something your son can have for a lifetime.
Joining the Greek Community will enhance your son’s experience at the University of Nebraska.
